While Islamabad United might be the only side to win the Pakistan Super League twice, Peshawar Zalmi might lay claim to being the competition’s most consistent side. They have reached the final in each of the last three seasons and have never finished lower than the third position.
Ahead of PSL 2020, here’s your Peshawar Zalmi team preview, giving you the lowdown on how the 2017 winners and 2019 runners-up are gearing up.
However, since winning the title in 2017, they have been beaten finalists twice, going down in a nail-biter in 2018 to Islamabad United before being handily beaten by Quetta Gladiators in 2019. After two agonising near-misses, can they go one better and claim a second PSL title in 2020? Or will the upcoming tournament be another case of so near, yet so far?
Wahab Riaz:Not only is Wahab the leading wicket-taker in the history of the tournament, he also comes in with great form to try and extend his lead on that chart. During the Bangladesh Premier League, he claimed 10 wickets at 16.70, including a spell of 5-8.
Peshawar Zalmi PSL 2020 prediction
Winners: The 2017 champions have a lot going for them. In addition to the strong unit from last year, they have an injection of talented youngsters such as Banton, Mohsin and Haider Ali. Having finished runners up in the previous two seasons, the law of averages is surely in their favour as well. They can’t keep being runners-up, can they?
